Website Privacy Policy
Charles River School, referred to in this policy as “we”, has a strong commitment to your privacy. This policy is your guide to the way we will handle information we learn or collect from your visit to our website. We are not responsible for the practices of persons, companies, or websites that we do not manage or control. By using our website, you are deemed to have consented to the practices described in this policy.
Information Collection, Use, and Sharing
We are the sole owners of the information collected on our site. We will not obtain personally identifying information about you when you visit our site unless you choose to provide such information to us. Providing such information is strictly voluntary. We define “personally identifying information” as data that personally identifies you or allows us to contact you. Such information may include your name, email, phone number, or address.
We will always identify the reason/purpose for which information is being collected and we will use your information solely for fulfilling that purpose. If you encounter a screen, page, or form that requests information you do not want to share with us, do not proceed to enter your information. We do not intend to share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request, protect our rights, or as required by the law.
Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to inform you about school announcements, special events, or changes to this policy.
Your Access To and Control Over Information
You may opt-out of any future contacts or request changes to your information from us at any time. You cannot remove yourself from our database, but you can prevent unwanted communication.
You can do the following at any time by contacting us via the email address or phone number given on our website:
- See the type of data we have about you if any.
- Change/correct any data we have about you if you think it is incorrect or incomplete.
- Have us delete any data we have about you.
- Express any concern you have about our use of your data.
Security
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.
Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the webpage. We urge you to take proactive steps to secure your personal data, such as frequently changing your passwords.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing) are granted access to your provided personally identifiable information. If you feel that we are not abiding by this policy, you should contact us immediately via the email address or phone number provided on our website.
Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosure of information, we cannot guarantee that information we collect will not be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Policy, as no server, computer or communications network or system, or data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
